About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to share and learn and travel everywhereeeeeee

ABOUT ME

born and raised in chicago then went off to LA for film school and after graduation promptly moved back to the Go. i can't get enough of the adventuring and exploring. i love finding new people that have stories to share and insight to give. i get really excited over pretty random, small stuff.

PHILOSOPHY

i really dont have a grande (its old timey) philosophy that i live by, but rather lots of convictions that i try to stick to.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I hosted a lot in Los Angeles and here in Chicago. I love the random droppings in and general sharing of experiences. I feel like I have more of a handle on Chicago than I had on LA and a bigger pool of city knowledge to share. I have also gone to a few local events and parties.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted some amazing people, though I have yet to couchsurf with people I've met through the site.

Interests

adventuring, mixtapes (and looking for them), really random super comfortable conversations, street art and graff, talkies, brooklyn lager, horn sections, communal cooking, the melding of ska and hip hop, karaokeing, the theremin, mods, thrifting, dumpstering, concerting, public transportation, breaking, using the word geeked...
